lesbians, while a gay male draftee in France is denied a deferment to care

official green light from Australian military officials for a float in this
year's Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras parade; the British newsmagazine "Gay
Times Of London" has been banned as pornographic in Zimbabwe; Swedish
researchers document gay-bashing and call for the inclusion of gays and
lesbians in the country's hate crimes laws, while delegates to an
international HIV conference in India call for repeal of sodomy laws there
and elsewhere to improve AIDS prevention efforts; lesbians organize in The
Netherlands around co-parenting rights; in Venice, Italy, a gay male couple
is given public housing--as a couple--marking a "first" for that country;
and openly-gay Democratic AIDS issues presidential hopeful Steve Michael's
life partner Wayne Turner says he'd be delighted to attend a "candidates'
wives" Valentine's Day event for New Hampshire school kids [compiled &
written by CINDY FRIEDMAN, with thanks to BRIAN NUNES, JASON LIN, BILL

SEGMENT #3 - Brief billboard for our "lesbians vs. British Rail" feature +
ANDREW SULLIVAN's recently-published book "VIRTUALLY NORMAL: AN ARGUMENT
ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY" focuses on what the openly-gay editor of the U.S.
political opinion magazine "The New Republic" describes as the four primary
sociopolitical viewpoints on homosexuality. In the third of a multi-part
feature interview with TWO's JON BEAUPRE, Sullivan deconstructs binary
politics as he discusses "liberationist" and "conservative" arguments, and
expresses the importance of conservative values, like marriage, from a
lesbigay perspective (outro music from "Freedom To Love" by FAITH NOLAN)

travel benefits. With an introduction by REBECCA SANDLES [BBC Radio 5 Live's

Southampton to find out why they took the "David" role in this seemingly
"David versus Goliath" court case (with music by LEON REDBONE)
